About Us

Rock Salt Alloy Boats is a line of 24 degree deep Vee aluminum hulls designed by Response Marine, Inc. The concept was started at the request of Jay Perrotta, and in partnership with The Welded Boat Company models from 27 to 34' were built for law enforcement, research, utility, and sport fishing. In 2012, The Welded Boat decided to change its focus to boats and other aluminum fabrications that lend themselves to automated welding procedures. The Rock Salt designs have a lot of structure and some intricate details that are not "robot friendly". Response Marine now has full rights to its Rock Salt designs, and they are now available as NC cutting kits (for humans to build!) as well as completed boats.

We purchased a new, custom 34’ Center Console patrol boat from Rock Salt Alloy Boats this past summer to assist with the cleanup effort on the Gulf oil spill. Global Remediation was contracted to run boat operations out of the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, FL. Our crews and boats worked 7 days a week for 8 months performing different operations up and down the panhandle. The 34’ Rock Salt was contracted primarily to perform off shore and in shore reconnaissance for oil because of its range and capabilities to handle inclement seas. This boat’s performance was outstanding and impressed on a daily basis all of its passengers consisting of Coast Guard, Navy, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and OSHA officials.

The construction and craftsmanship of this boat is outstanding and I would highly recommend Rock Salts boats.
